In May 2020 we partnered with Helen’s Acres and Okanagan Fruit Tree Project to begin fresh produce deliveries. This new food distribution was gratefully receivedin a time of social isolation and heightened anxiety, the weekly produce deliveries allowed for safe physically distanced connections which enhanced the mental, emotional and financial stability of all involved! Growing in 2021 to bless over 100 households! www.handsinservice.ca/light-it-up/ ... @helensacreskelowna @okfruittreeproject @growingtogive_ #LoveGivesBack #feedingfamilies #community #Lightitup
